Environmental Education

“Time in nature is not leisure time; it’s an essential investment in our children’s health (and also, by the way, in our own).” – Richard Louv

Our Environmental Education Program offers many activities for Forest County Potawatomi Community members. These range from weekly science and nature activities at the Tribe’s preschool to nature hikes, summer camp, and high school and college internships with the Natural Resources Department.

In addition, Environmental Education staff are available for activities and presentations to the general public. Upon request, we can lead environmental science and nature activities for classes at the local public school districts. We also offer programs to area groups and clubs. Call (715) 478-4962 or email Celeste.Schuppler@fcpotawatominsn.gov if you would like to set something up for your class or club.
